2) High tea taken and enjoyed in unison
3) A fashionable show with redeemable rewards
— and then will ultimately culminate with —
4) A luncheon, in which riders bring their own foodstuffs to eat on lovely, friendly grounds in beautiful company.

This photo below is from Mt Tabor Park (“Portland Concerts in the Park” series) in 2007.

From Portland Parks: Portland's Mt Tabor, a volcanic cinder cone, was named by Plympton Kelly, son of Oregon City pioneer resident Clinton Kelly, after Mt Tabor in Israel, six miles east of Nazareth.

Tomorrow night you can learn about Oregon's volcanic activity while drinking beer with friends of OMSI.

From OMSI Science Pub:

Hot Rocks: Oregon's Volcanic Past…and Future!

The effect of volcanic activity on Oregon's landscape is obvious — from the impressive snow-capped peaks of Mt. Hood and Three Sisters to the dramatic testimony at Crater Lake to the rich soil of the Willamette Valley. But how do Oregon's volcanoes work and how do they compare to other volcanoes around the world?

What does evidence of previous eruptions tell us about what may happen in our future? Join the discussion and see demonstrations that show how volcanoes have such an impact on the land around us.

There are many events and other benefits for Haiti this week & weekend in Portland. We are creating a list of them here. If you know of ones we have not added, please comment on that list.

DJ New Moon Poncho

100% of the bar profits and door proceeds tonight will go to Mercy Corps for their relief efforts in the aftermath of Haiti's devastating earthquake. Tonight, Portland is united with Haiti under their national motto: “l'union fait la force: with unity comes strength”.

Gotta hand it to Reed. They do keep it interesting over there. I like the “optional field trip” after where you should bring dollar bills….hmmm.

From Facebook Event info:
Part of Reed's Paideia week of classes.

A former stripper, an economics student, and an IRS-certified tax preparer talk about stripping from the most-important and often-ignored angle: moolah.

Learn about the incredibly bizarre money structures in strip clubs, the 101 on how much money a g-string is worth versus a thong, why hairy armpits can mean more cash, why strippers do and don't unionize, and why strippers can get a tax deduction for boob jobs.

Covers legal and less legal adult markets, and legislation's effect on vice markets.

This will be held on Reeds Campus in ETC 205. (That's near the SE corner of campus, very close to SE Woodstock.)

Saturday, January 23, 2010
3:00pm – 8:00pm

Note: All discussion is about economics NOT about ethics. Save your feminist theory discussions for some other time.

Optional field trip by bike or TriMet afterwards. Bring 1$ bills for the field trip.
